If food is art, then Monarch is a gallery. Co-owners Jeff Orbin and Aaron Teitelbaum (the latter a former manager of Daniel in NYC) and chef Brian Hale offer a choice of five distinct dining experiences: a coolly contemporary bar, an airy bistro, a formal dining room, a secluded room accessible only through the glass-enclosed wine room and a private “chef’s table” overlooking the bustling kitchen. The menu is a food-lover’s dream, thanks to Hale’s deftly executed takes on French haute cuisine. That wine “cellar,” which holds 3,000 bottles, is Teitelbaum’s pride and joy, and if he’s there he’ll gladly escort you inside and help you choose a bottle to go with your dinner. The place is unlike any restaurant in St. Louis in atmosphere, panache -- and price.
